I made really good progress thanks to your advice! It ALMOST works perfectly <3 In the advanced config, I added Pinball FX2 as a process, and it loads up and stays there perfectly, which is great. I even changed one of the keys under the keyboard remap section and it works! The only problem that I have now is that it doesn't exit with the key combination like the other emulators do and I can't figure out how I should implement it. Do you have any ideas for what options I should be looking at? Or is this maybe something I should be using AHK for, which I don't currently have installed... Anyway, thanks again for your support. I'm making really good progress on this so far

Ohhh that sounds exactly what I need! I'll report back to you with what I find. Thanks for the continued help =D

It's in there at the bottom. It got messed up because of how it formatted the spoiler into quotes >.< Here's just the log file: I should also note that when I launch PFX2 through GameEx's Steam list, it runs fine without GameEx switching away from it. But then of course you have to wait through all of the loading screens and select the table from within PFX2, which is annoying. Also, if I launch the table through my setup, and then after it auto switches back to GameEx launch PFX2 through GameEx's Steam list, it switches to the open PFX2 window and stays there. I have a feeling that GameEx is not properly detecting PFX2 when I launch it through the command line like that because technically it's launching Steam.exe with PFX2 as a command line option. There probably isn't anything I can do to fix it, unless there's something Tom can do with hooking into a custom .exe.

Here is my gameex.ini

Thanks for the response Draco! Unfortunately that does not work. The command line needs to say - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 226980 Western What is working for me right now is having the following settings: working path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\ rom directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pinball FX2\data_steam rom filter: *.pxp command line: Steam.exe -applaunch 226980 [ROM] These settings correctly filter the rom list, and succesfully launches the game to the correct table. The problem is that GameEx immediately switches back to GameEx once the game launches and blocks it from view. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? What determines exactly what GameEx views as an emulator vs. background or other apps? Is it thinking that Steam.exe is the emulator? Thanks for any assistance.

I've made some progress, but it's still not working correctly. I've made a .bat file that launches the game directly to my table of choice, and I've set up a custom emulator in the wizard and put .bat files for each table I use and everything shows up and works correctly. However, when launching a table .bat from GameEx, it launches correctly and then quickly tabs back to GameEx while the game runs in the background. Any thoughts? Anyone?

Pinball FX 2 added the ability to launch tables individually from command line, which is great for people with cabinets. I'm trying to get it to work and can't figure out a working solution. Tables can be launched from command line as follows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 226980 [TABLENAME] e.g "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 226980 Western - succesfully launches the Wild West Rampage table. I've tried creating my own setup by modifying the Visual Pinball emulator through the setup wizard, I've googled and I've searched the forums for solutions about how best to implement this with GameEx, but I haven't come across anything that's helped. Has someone been able to implement this correctly? My cabinet is an upright 2 player mame cab, and I'd prefer not using something exclusive for pinball sims like PinballX. Thoughts or advice? Thanks!
